First Day of Eid

There were so many events yesterday, I'll just give a brief 'report'... hehehe...

Early in the morning (at 7.45 am), the special Eid prayer was held at laman Mesra... yep, on the field where we had our Ramadhan Bazaar. After that, we had the 'personal' salam raya at home. Those who asked for forgiveness the longest would normally be the one with lots of 'dosa'... hehehe... aka me!!

Hadi 'forced' to beg forgiveness from Kak Long...

After that we went to the multi-purpose hall for the official raya breakfast. The food was cooked by students. The kids loved the soup and nasi impit. I like everything... hehehe

It's impossible to look good when gobbling your food! sigh...

More people eating...

At 10 am, we invited some people to our house (those who won't be in Khartoum when we're having our open house). Faridah & family, Nadzifah & family, Ruzien & family and Zarin. Faridah's going to Switzerland, Zarin's going back to Malaysia while the rest are going to Paris. We had nasi impit, 'bad' rendang, kuah kacang, sate and murtabak.

We were chatting...

Right after the last guest left our house, we went to Sh. Najwa's house. Proceed to eat more food. The most memorable dish would be her beef rendang... yummy...

The gentlemen lining up... hehehe

After Najwa's house, we had a 'break' from eating... The malays has a saying , "macam ular sawa kekenyangan"...literary meaning like a satisfied and full python... also could be translated as 'nap-time'... hehehe... woke up at 5 pm and straight to Norima's house... more eating...

After maghrib, we went to the Malaysian ambassador's house in Soba. Quite far from the Complex. There were so many Malaysians there (most were Petronas staff...hehehe). Can't remember what I ate because I was too busy chatting and trying to keep an eye on the kids... Came back at 9.30 pm and my husband and I finished cleaning up the house only after midnight... sigh...
